I hope I detect June's tongue firmly in cheek.

I would say to leave well alone, because you will just push the problem elsewhere and the whole of FH & HOP will end up respark or meter. Once you start, you can't stop, so don't even go there.

I do sympathise with the people at the bottom of Devonshire Road, and they no doubt pay a premium price on their properties for being close to the station. Well, I'm afraid this is just another element of the price. If it's one you're not willing to pay, you can always move.

I know this is a simplistic analysis, but I was hoping that the new Condem government and Big Society would mean a move away from the nanny state dictating every move you make and towards a more free market approach.
